The Legend of Mr Macha
It was a steamy afternoon in August 2023. The kind of day when a fresh, cool shower is all you crave. But as we scoured our shower racks, a shocking revelation hit us – where were the soaps for men? More specifically, where were the soaps for the radiant Indian skin type? Every bottle, every bar from big-shot brands seemed to scream “CHEMICALS GALORE!”
Now, meet the Macha Mavericks,
the trio that made it all happen:
This man’s seen more action than a Bollywood blockbuster. With 25 years in the Army, he’s trekked the roughest terrains and has stories that would make even a bear shudder. Not just an Army stalwart, he’s also a serial entrepreneur who knows a thing or two about carving niches. If there’s anyone who understands the need for an invigorating, natural clean after a long day, it’s him!
From the lavish corridors of an MBB firm to the unpredictable hustle of a startup, Shubhankar ditched the tie and boardroom banter to leap into the world of Mr. Macha. Swapping spreadsheets for soaps, he’s on a mission to ensure men aren’t just picking any soap, but choosing their soap with pride.
Our resident Soapmeister. If soap-making were an art, Nachi would be its Picasso. Beyond his lathering expertise, he’s also our management wizard, ensuring that every Macha move we make is strategic, suave, and superbly scented.
